The Toda Madre by Guero is a vegetarian Torta. Guero's version of the traditional spanish sandwich stacks Huaraches, a potato and masa blend patty, charred tomatillo aioli, avocado, cabbage, pickled onions, stewed tomato, with a onion, cilantro lime blend, all wedged between two slices of Teleras, a traditional mexican bread specifically made for Tortas.

Guero, the Northeast Portland torta cart from the crew behind the Taco the Town bike taco delivery service, is going brick and mortar.

The counter-service torteria, from owners Megan Sanchez and Alec Morrison, will take over the 14-year-old Tabla Pasta e Vino space along Northeast 28th Avenue, just blocks north from the duo's sleek cart The Oregonian named among the 15 best in the city.

According to Eater PDX, Tabla owner Adam Berger will close the restaurant Dec. 3. Guero is hoping to open in early 2017.

"The number one thing we're excited about is staying in our neighborhood," Sanchez said. "For us, our pod community and the 28th Avenue and other businesses, that's our family."

The 50-60 seat space will focus on tortas, serving their classics along with popular one-off specials from the cart and a number of new regional-specific tortas. Sanchez also says to expect sides, snacks, bowls and fresh, bright drinks that go well with the hearty sandwiches. Come spring, they'll also add outdoor seating.
